Lincoln construction firm Gelder Group has welcomed its next intake of apprentices.
Jack Jarvis, 17, and Sandis Kupreicik, 23, who are studying bricklaying at the college, thave signed a two-year apprenticeship contract.
Steve Gelder, chief executive of Gelder Group, said: “The first person ever employed by Gelder Group started life as an apprentice and now 29 years on he’s still with the firm, which is just one of many who have joined us following an apprenticeship.
“There is a massive shortage of workers in the construction industry across the UK and our mission has always been to support the next generation and reduce that gap as much as possible.
“I asked students at the Construction Careers College to submit their CVs for this opportunity and it was Jack and Sandis that stood out due to their passion for the industry and eagerness to learn from our team. I’m looking forward to welcoming more apprentices over the coming years and to working with Jack and Sandis, I hope they enjoy their time with us.”
The appointments come just three months after the construction firm announced it will double its apprenticeship intake over the next three years.
